    Summary

    There was something exhilarating about playing music that could kill if he let it. The room hummed with a danger that the crowd could feel in their spines. They loved it. Every time.

    Or: Victor is trans and happy, and Five is a good sibling

    Summary

    "You can’t save everybody. The world doesn’t work like that.”

    “That’s bullshit,” Josuke spat. “There’s no sugarcoating it. Those people are dead because I wasn’t strong enough to fix them.”

    Summary

    “None of this was your fault.”

    With a sinking feeling, Jotaro came to terms with the fact that nothing he could say would change Josuke’s mind. The kid would have to do that for himself.

    Summary

    Josuke had a comforting light in his eyes, even as exhausted as he was from travel. This was the first time they’d met in person, but they’d been corresponding regularly through email so consistently and thoroughly for the past year that he already felt like an old friend. Josuke knew more about Giorno than almost everyone he’d ever met.

    It was easier to talk about his fears and weaknesses over text, to someone without a face. Josuke had a face now, though, and the feeling hadn’t changed.

    Summary

    "I think my struggles just may be beyond helping, or beyond deserving it. If I give my loved ones what they need, though, then none of that matters. It’s worth it. It’s worth it, and I’m enough.”

    Summary

    If he acted like he was fine, then he was fine. Plain and simple.

    What a ridiculous lie that was.

    Summary

    Even with all his power, people still got hurt. People still died. He could never be good enough to save everyone.

    And if he took it out on himself? There wasn't a goddamn thing he could do to fix it.

    Summary

    "Maybe I'm sick of fighting. But," Unbidden, Josuke's voice fell to a near whisper. "I'm afraid that if I stop, even for a little bit, I'll have to face it. And I won't be strong enough to live with myself."

    Summary

    Pannacotta was just...standing there. The guy had a serious temper; Narancia had been expecting him to retaliate right away. He didn’t move an inch, though, staring blankly ahead of him. He was too pale, and far too still for someone who was being threatened with a novelty pencil. Narancia picked up speed and wrenched Giorno away.

    “Dude, chill out. Something’s wrong.”

    Summary

    She rocked Giorno in her arms, whispering sweet nothings and half-remembered lullabies. She made him feel safe. As he drifted off to sleep, he felt wetness from above stain his cheek. He hadn't known that monsters could cry.

    Summary

    “You’re real?”

    “In a sense, yes. I’m real enough to hold your hand. I’m not real enough to tear that man into bloody pieces.”

    Reimi is a protector of children who are close to death. Fugo walks the line.

    Summary

    "I'm really proud of you, Panna. You seem happier every time I see you. More…you, and less like you're suffocating."

    Fugo smiled brightly. "I'm proud of you, too. It's incredible how resilient you are."

    Narancia didn't feel very resilient. He'd grown brittle, cracking at the edges and threatening to crumble into dust. "I used to be."

    Summary

    Fugo was tapping anxiously on the wheel. His left leg bounced frantically and he bit his lip hard enough that it looked painful. "This is such a bad idea. They're gonna be pissed, I don't even fucking know what-"

    "Panna," Narancia interrupted softly. "You're suffocating here. You need this. Please trust me?"

    Fugo took a deep breath, held it, and exhaled slowly. "Okay. Okay, yeah."

    "Radical. Speaking of, where are we going?"

    The destination didn't matter. They were together. They were safe. If only for a few days, they were free.

    Summary

    Giorno took another step towards Fugo. His voice was steady as a scalpel and deadly quiet. “You don’t mean what? You don’t mean to hurt him? You don’t mean to twist his arm badly enough that he can’t use it right the next day? I saw him flinch when you picked up a fork, once. Does it make you feel good to scare someone who trusts you?”

    Summary

    Giorno was so happy that it was pouring out of him in waves. Flowers and vines steadily grew all around the living room, bathing the area in a pleasant aroma. The simple act of paying him some loving attention could work wonders.

    Summary

    The first lesson that Fugo ever learned was that above all else, he had to be good. The second was that this goal was unattainable.
